  • I saw a post yesterday berating a woman for wanting to give her toddler melatonin so it would sleep during a flight. Like, why is that a problem? We drug animals for flights all the time, it’s practically a requirement. Until the age of at least 5, kids are essentially animals with just as little self-control. Hell, even after that, they tend to have less control than well-trained dogs.

    Especially age 2 and younger. A child that young is not going to understand what is happening. Being forced to sit and be quiet for several hours while the pressure fucks with their ears is basically torturing them. Not only do I think it’s ok to give them something that would help them sleep through it, I think it should be mandatory.



  • There were a bunch of closed door meetings with upper management and the busy season was set to end in a few weeks, so the writing was on the wall.

    I had some of the most consistently highest metrics so I went into our VP of Operations office and straight up asked if I would be let go on X date. He told me no.

    To be fair, he kept his word. About 70% of the staff were let go on that date. I was let go 2 days after that.
